Last Friday, we had such a wonderful time at our annual Senior Citizen High Tea! We welcomed over 30 cherished members of our local community to the school for a delightful afternoon. Our guests enjoyed a fantastic spread of sandwiches, freshly baked scones, and an array of delicious cakes, all prepared with love by Dr. Jera and our amazing Hospitality and Catering students. It was truly special to chat with everyone, especially hearing fascinating stories about the school's history! Some even shared memories of working or studying here when we were known as Wing County Secondary School. Our talented GCSE students provided beautiful music, making the atmosphere even more charming. A huge thank you to Dr. Jera and all the students for their hard work in making it such a memorable afternoon. We loved meeting you all! #TheCottesloeSchool #tcs65years

This morning, our future linguists gained incredible insights into careers in the Civil Service, including GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters), by joining a Government live stream! They heard inspiring tips and learned just how vital language and communication skills are in the workplace. One speaker even joined live from the British Embassy in Tokyo, having studied French and German at schooljust like our students! It goes to show, you never know how far learning a language can take you! Inspired to explore a career in the Civil Service Sector?

What a Day at the Year 7/8 Cricket Festival! We had an amazing time today, July 7th, at @wolvertontowncc Club's Year 7/8 Cricket Festival. Our team had the fantastic opportunity to compete alongside 8 other county teams in an action-packed tournament. Our girls showed incredible spirit and determination, finishing strong in the middle of the group with a great mix of wins and losses. We saw some seriously impressive improvements in their bowling and fielding techniques throughout the day – a true testament to their hard work and dedication. Well done to everyone involved, and a massive thank you to Wolverton Cricket Club for hosting such a brilliant event! #CricketFestival #YouthCricket #GirlsCricket #WolvertonCricketClub #CountyCricket #FutureStars #TCSPEDept #TheCottesloeSchool
